Abstract
A method includes determining, through a processor of a data processing device in conjunction with one or more sensor(s) associated therewith, an intent of a user of the data processing device to respond to an alert of an incoming communication thereto expressed through a sound volume level and/or a vibrational level of the alert. The method also includes automatically reducing, through the processor, the sound volume level and/or the vibrational level of the alert following the determination of the intent of the user to respond to the alert.
